Hi,
I'm trying to do take some vertical aerial photographs fit for GIS mapping.
In the past (with a Phantom) I took a series of photo's manually whilst I flew the UAV in a box pattern. I'd stitch them together, and calibrate them with my GIS, and get a up to date map of the area in question.
Now I have an Inspire Pro I want to the same, but on a some what larger scale (imagine a square parcel of land 500m by 500m - 25ha).
In the attached example (of a snowy scene of heather moorland, trees and a track) you can see that due to gaps in the photo coverage the track isn't contiguous - bits have been missed out. I believe that regular images taken with consideration of the UAV's speed will prevent gaps happening.
My aspiration is to set the UAV on a Ground Station mission, flying autonomously, and I'd like to set the camera to take a vertical photo every X seconds (say every 5), so that there is sufficient overlap between the photo's for the photo-stitching software to work, without the gaps plain in the image
Is this possible?
Any suggestions?
Cheers
